    Lasagna is not a dish I make often. It takes a lot of time to boil the noodles and cool them and then assemble everything. Then on top of that you have to bake it and keep an eye on the oven. I've had "Spasagna" at restaurants before (yummy!) but I guess the idea never occurred to me to make it at home...until now! If you've never had "Spasagna" it's really just lasagna made with spaghetti noodles. Well, I must have had a burst of energy or just a crazy idea, but I made it the old fashioned way by boiling the noodles and assembling it pretty much like you would a regular lasagna. About half way through the thought occurred to me that I really should have been making this in the slow cooker! Alas... Slow Cooker Spaghetti Lasagna was born!slow cooker spaghetti lasagna with melted cheese on a white plate

     The Slow Cooker is your best friend when it comes to this Slow Cooker Spaghetti Lasagna!

    (I used my mini casserole slow cooker but any slow cooker will work!!)

    • Throw the ingredients in the crock and let your slow cooker do the hard work for you. No need to watch over the oven for this one!
    • Set your slow cooker to low for 5-6 hours or high for 3 hours before you start your day and a delicious home cooked meal will be ready for your hungry crew at day's end.
    • Cooking this all in one pot (or crock in this instance) makes clean up a breeze!

    As if I haven't sang enough praise for this recipe it will also feed a crowd! Or at the least a few hungry teenagers. Layers of cheese and pasta and sauce topped by yet again more cheese. What could be better?!? I kept this vegetarian because I have this weird thing about not liking any meat in my lasagna. I have no idea why. I don't like lettuce in my tacos either but I guess that's a whole other story;) Since I'm the cook I guess I get to have it my way! And I didn't hear anyone complain. In fact not a word was ever mentioned about the lack of meat. But if you want meat...add it! It's all good!slow cooker spaghetti lasagna with melted cheese in an oval casserole slow cooker

     

    This Slow Cooker Spaghetti Lasagna is perfect for a busy weeknight meal!

    • This was so fast and easy to put together! While I didn't time it, it couldn't have taken me more than 10 minutes to put together. Let that be our secret, I am hoping my family thinks I worked all day making them this delicious meal!
    • Slow cooker pasta can be tricky because it can get watery (mushy). The trick here is to let it sit for a good 30 minutes or longer if you can before cutting into it! This will allow the pasta to set and make it easier to cut those perfect lasagna squares!
    • This recipe is very versatile. While I chose to keep it meatless, you can easily add any kind of protein you would like and really tailor to your preferences!

      Thinking about trying this recipe & I’m a first time user of the CrockRoc. Do I bake in the over or let it sit cooking on the stove for 2-3 hours?

      When you call for the pesto sauce what kind did you use red or green. I want to make this but not sure of what pesto sauce is. Brand would be nice.

        Hi Donald!! Any brand will work, and you can usually find it at most every store next to the pasta sauce. I used the green version (which is the regular version) but any kind you like will work!!

      This sounds like a great change of pace! I wonder if it would work well in my casserole crock vs. my standard oval crock. I think I will add this to the meal plan for next weekend! Thanks for sharing!

      This looks great! I am going to add ground beef since I am feeding a boys hockey team! Where would you add the meat in the layers?

        Hi Lara! This will hopefully at least help to fill them up! I would brown it up and then divide it and add it between each layer of noodles.

        I'm going to add the beef also, but I think I'll add it to the marinara first.

        Hmmmm, I'm pretty sure I made it on low but can't remember now for sure. You should be totally fine either way. Let me know how it turns out!!
